19. STANDING FORWARD BEND, WITH FEET ON WEDGES

19A. DETAIL: FEET ON WEDGES

Remain in Standing Forward Bend with your feet on wedges for about a minute. Widen the balls of your feet by moving the little toe away from the ball of the big toe. Check that your weight is evenly distributed around the circumference of the heels, and let the soles of your feet conform to the surface of the wedges.

To come out of the pose, bring your hands onto your hips. With an inhalation, lengthen the outer edges of your feet against the wedges as you lift your torso to an upright position. With an exhalation, step off the wedges onto your mat and stand quietly in Mountain Pose. Observe the strength and balance of your feet and legs.

Practice Notes. When your weight is not distributed evenly around the whole circumference of your heel, lift the heel slightly away from the wedge, find the very center of the heel, and then bring the heel down again. When you rest on the very center of the heel, your weight will be more evenly balanced around the circumference.
